earlier to share her views on washington's continued military support to israel despite the regime's ongoing genocide in gaza. "the us is in violation of its own laws, it's in violation of international law, it's in violation of every moral standard, and the lahi law was an important piece of legislation, us has never abided by it at all, but it did say that the department of state, the department of defense could not provide aid of any kind to those. were in violation of international humanitarian law, and of course there have been gross violations, genocide, this is agreed the whole world, icc, icj, numerous investigations,

the destruction of of homes of schools, of marketplaces, of children, the targeting again and again, there's just no doubt that obviously israel's in violation, but there's also no doubt anyone in the world has that every day of this war funded by the us, so are they in violation of the lahi law? yes, and of every conceivable human standard, and they're doing it deliberately. this war could not continue one day without these huge infusions of weapons and this, it's the weapons, it's a funding, it's a subsidies, it's a trainers and contractors, israel is the greatest recipient in history of us aid and uh that just continued pumping in. the un humanitarian agency is slammed israel for blocking aid

delivery to northern gaza the palestinians have been suffering for more than two months under the regime siege. according to the un spokesman, three humanitarian missions planning to bring food and water to the part. of the besieed north gaza were once again stopped by the regime's forces. stefan warned against looming famin in the north of the territory due to israel's complete siege and intensified attacks. he noted that efforts to reach areas like baitlahya, baithan and parts of jabalia have been particularly obstructed. the un says its humanitarian agency has attempted to sent aid to northern gaza 40 times during the first half of december, but 38 of those...

iran's un ambassador has categorically rejected threats of invoking the so-called snapback mechanism under the jcpo by the three european parties to the agreement. ami said ravan warned that such an action by the e3 will be both unlaw. and counterproductive. let's make it clear once and for all. the so-called snapback is not a tool in your hand to be abused for threatening iran. iran has made it very clear that such a

provocative move will be reciprocated by a firm and proportionate response. iravani was addressing a un security council. under jcpoa. the so-called snapback mechanism allows for the return of anti-iran sanctions suspended under the deal. he reiterated iran's position that the root cause of the unpass. facing the jcpa is the unilateral withdrawal of the us and the e3's failure to honor their commitments under the accord. iravani added that iran's decision to walk back on some of his jcpo commitments was a response to the worst bad promises. he stress that iran is committed to continuing cooperation with the international atomic energy agency according to its obligations. the iranian diplomat urged the e3 and the us to abandon confrontational approaches and demonstrate. a true commitment to diplomacy. journalist and political analyst

john says western pressures on iran over its peaceful nuclear program are aimed at preventing the industry's progress as the world shifts away from the oil consumption era. well, when we talk about a nuclear iran, i'm talking about a nuclear. capable iran that has an onward prospect after the end of the petroleum era. we know that the petroleum era is winding down and the iranian economy is highly dependent on petroleum today. for iran to make a transition towards a new non-petroleum-based economy in the next 20 years is going to require a new energy source and the most logical energy source as we do have. in canada and as they have across europe, is nuclear power, safe, responsibly controlled nuclear energy generation. iran

has every right, as any other country to develop this techn technological advance. if iran is stopped from doing this, the effect would be an economic collapse in iran after the petroleum era, and that once again, would suit the israel lobby. iran's foreign minister says protecting political borders and national sovereignty of regional countries is tehran's red line and top most concern. abbaschi made the remarks in an article for lebanon's annahar newspaper. he stressed that iran's presence in syria was at the official request of the country's government and was aimed at combatting the daesh terrorist group. and actually said unlike iran, us's presence in syria lacks any legal basis and has led to the occupation of. large swaters of the country. he also reaffirmed iran's commitment to supporting all muslim and arab forces that make

up the resistance front against israeli regime. he emphasized that resistance against occupation and expansionism is not a merely ideological matter, but is the most important tool to protect security and stability of the entire west asia region. author and journalist sakina d believes the ongoing developments in syria are actually undermining the country's sovereignty and autonomy, because every player wants a piece of its territory. if you not able to contain the sovereinity of a nation, whereas on one hand we are constantly hearing about how you know whatever happened in syria, the fall of it was to do with making sure that there is freedom in syria and therefore apparently a free syria, but it is actually what has happened is... completely taking away the sovereinity and the really autonomy of syria because now we see so many players around the

world who wants a peace of the nation and i think the most important thing is is to make a difference about what iran's role was always in syria and in regional countries it has always been a supporting role to ensure that these countries are able to maintain what is it they want so in syria for example it was at the request of the president at that time bashar al assad that iran was there to support the country against you know for example the zionist entity which we have now seen has encroached into major inwards but so if you look at in in opposition to nations like like israel but also us their intentions of being there is anything but you know to support the country there is also a lot of discussion that is happening that is against iran now the... syria has fallen, you know the the narrative, this warfare in the media that is going on is to try and make iran look like the

bad guys, whereas we all are aware of what the reality is, the iran has only wanted to protect these nations and not encroach like you know the zionist entity is doing and like the us is doing. iran's foreign ministry spokesman says enhanced international cooperation is necessary. to counter terrorism and extremism and address their threats to peace, security and human rights. ismail bagai made the comment to mark the international day for a world against violence and violent extremism. he added that this day was established following the adoption when iran sponsored resolution at the united nations general assembly in 2013. iran has played a major role in fighting terrorism and extremism in the west asia region and beyond over the past years. evidenced by its stornt support for the anti-daesh fight during the past decade. the israeli

regime continues its air strikes on south of lebanon. targeting vehicles and residential buildings with civilians inside them. the attacks are carried out in blatant violation of a sece fire deal between israel and lebanon. our beiroth correspondent mariam saleh joined us earlier with the latest updates on the regime's aggression against lebanon. well, in addition to the drone attack against one of the vehicles and which is not the first time actually, we had several attacks and direct targeting of vehicles on. roads whether south of the lutani or even north of the lutani uh since the cease fire, of course that has been a blatant violation of these cease fire which these government has spoken to, spoken about to the united nations interum forces as well as the members of the committee which are overlooking the seasfire, this includes representatives of the united states and france, we also have another attack just in the last

few hours in the area of their syrian, actually there was a raid in one there seran, which is an area that is between several mountains, there are several valleys there, it's not clear what the israelies were targeting, but like we said like previously, they have not only targeted vehicles, assassinating even civilians, but we can see now that the focus is on those border towns where the israelis are still detonating and blowing up houses, especially in farakila and and and nakura actually after they had withdrawn from some of the areas and neighborhoods in ham, the lebanese army of course deployed in that area and up until now the the lebanese red cross in support and of course the cooperation with the lebanese army and the international red cross they have removed so far four marters from under the rubble inside khiam only. syria has been overrun by terrorist

groups, militants and armed factions for over a decade. in our explain a program, we have discussed countries and entities now voying for land and influence in a crisis in arab country. when we take a look at what's happening here, we're taking a look at uh the fact that you're looking at a country that has been broken down in terms of what uh has occurred there. uh, the armed group designation for hts as a terrorist organization by the un security council. "the us and most western countries has emerged as the dominant force in syria following the fall of the syrian government, but who else and what are the groups or entities are on the ground in syria? well here's a map of syria. first let's look at the groups involved all together that are on the ground. you're looking at turkish-backed militants, kurdish controlled areas, areas ruled by hds or hayat, tahir al sham, the dominance group there, and now you have israeli regime

forces, dish terrorists and russian forces and us forces uh" those are the dominant ones, let's start with the kurds and the turks which are in the northern part of the country, you are looking at the main town ra where the kurds are present, the euphretes river, those are the two prominent geographical points, and it's taken over by the kurds, running down here is the euphretes river, which is obviously of importance, then you're looking at the areas occupied by the turks on the turkish back militants which are at the top in the... blue uh with the respect of towns that we figured are important in order to point them out like afrin, mambesh, talabiad or raisalin and darabolus, turkey which claimed it had no military presence in syria is fighting the kurds in these areas. now let's move to the dominant group in syria, now it started out in idlib in terms of where they had control for

quite some time, and then as you can see this area in the brown here is what uh they have uh taken over. um, keep in mind that this is a group that is now in control, but it's a transitional, if you want to call it a governments, so therefore we are not designating that area all together to be something that they're ruling over, because again, it's in transition, even though they are in control of it. that accounts for actually 60% of the country, including the capital damascus, but there are other militant and terrorist groups controlling syrian territory, they're concentrated in this area that you see over here, basically ' right in the center uh, if we want to take a look at some of these groups, there's quite a handful of them uh that are focused in this area, um, and there are also pockets that are in the southern part of damascus. of which uh some of these uh terrorist groups are uh it's noteworthy to point out that the us is actually targeting many of these uh terrorist groups at this point that they call isis,

we call them daesh. now let's move on to the next area that uh we're going to take a look at and that is to the western part latakya, manas and tartas. now this is an area uh that has russian presence, they are moving their artillery out, the himamim air base is uh an important one for them, including the ports that they have. um and we are at this point looking at the discussions for between the russian and the dominance hts to see if they can work something out, but at this point the presence there by the russians is still existing in that area. now let's take a look at the us occupation forces, here are the towns that you're going to see here der alzor and also we're looking at an area right over here, it's called a deconflic. zone while the us military base is located there is important because this is an area that has basically the oil fields that

the us has taken over for quite some time of which many are accusing them of stealing syrian oil and finally let's move on to the area to the far south this is an area that the israel regime forces have taken over now for the past week they're moving. in the golden heights they've taken over mount herman we mentioned um is an area that for now they saying they're not going to pull back from and they continue with their uh offensive uh of note here is a us or the un disengagement observer forces the un dof which is this area right here and in the purple you can see how the um israel regime forces are actually moving uh to take over the territory uh at this point uh it's not known how much further the israel regime forces are going to move into the territory, but what's very important is the fact that they have taken over the golen heights right here in the center, mount herman, as i mentioned, and the fact that they have announced that they're

going to actually have settlements in this area, and they're using $11 million as a way to entice israeli settlers to move into the area. a russian general has been killed in an explosion in moscow, leftenant general igor kirilov in his age was struck by explosive planted in a nearby scooter, both victims died at the scene, jerry byes reports from st. petersburg. numerous media outlets are now reporting that the attack was conducted by the ukrainian sbu, kiev secret service. those sources stated that kirilov was a legitimate target. the assassination took place just the day after general karilov was listed by kiev as a suspect in russia's alleged use of chemical weapons in the... he has been a sharp critic of western lead regime change

operations, and has repeatedly accused the west of assisting in the development and deployment of banned weapons in both syria and ukraine. karilov help verify and expose the white helmets fraud in syria and shine light on biolabs operating in ukraine, which he claimed were funded by the pentagon and submitted documentation as proof. he als accused ukraine of attempting to create a dirty bomb using spent nuclear fuel to stage a false flag attack. russian ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson maria zaharova responded to the tragedy on telegram. she said karilov has been a systematically exposing the crimes of the anglo-saxons for many years, with facts in hand, adding he worked fearlessly. he did not hide behind people's backs, he walked with an open visor. we spoke to moscow-based former us army officer and military analyst stanislav. about the impact and the consequences of the attack, so the murder of general kirilov and the bomb threat against andrepolov, who is committee head in the gosduma illustrates

that one, there is no work, no negotiations possible with the terrorist regime in kiev, terrorist regime that was set up by mi6 and by the cia, so no matter how much donald trump may want to push some kind of negotiations or can't be negotiations with this regime until it is fully removed. dimitri medwav, the deputy chair of the russian security council, accused kiev of using its remaining strength to justify what he called its worthless existence to western masters. several russian officials have accused ukraine of increasingly desperate actions in order to create distraction from the realities of the conflict in which russian forces continue to advance. for now, the investigation into the attack continues and more details are likely to emerge in the coming days. j buyers with press tv in st. petersburg, and that is the rap for this hour's news. thank you so much for watching press tv, never forget the the flow of news doesn't stop here.

اببوریحان محمد ابن احمد البیرونی (nown از البیرونی) is regarded not only as one of the most iconic figures of the islamic world, but also as one of the greatest minds in history. born in 973, albirune was a polymath from the kharazm region, part of ancient persia and greater iran. december 13 marks the anniversary of... his death in modern day afghanistan where he spent much of his life. throughout his life, albiruni mastered the white range of disciplines including astronomy, physics, mathematics, medicine, geography, theology and history, all thanks to his linguistic dexterity. for his contributions, he earned titles such as the father of comparative.

religion, father of modern geodycy, founder of indology and the first anthropologist. alburoni studied various religions in depth, including hinduism, buddhism, christianity, judaism, zorostrianism and islam. his enclopedic work, the chronology of ancient nations is an anthropological account of different peoples, customs and religion. his magnemopus, the book of india, is a comprehensive ethnographic and scientific survey of indian society, offering insights into its religions, customs and sciences. unlike many of his contemporaries, he approached his studies with objectivity and respect, setting the precedence for cross-cultural scholarship. of the 146 books albiruni wrote, 95 were devoted to astronomy.

mathematics and related topics. in astronomy, he authored the massaudi canon, compiling past astronomical knowledge and incorporating his own original contributions. his work in geography was also ground breaking. he was among the first to propose that the earth rotates on its axis, a hypothesis predating copernicus by several centuries. using trigonometry, he calculated the earth's radius. to be approximately 6,339.9 kilometers, remarkably close to the modern accepted value and achieved centuries before similar calculations in the west, though his life ended in 1048, albiri's contributions remain a cornerstone of scientific and cultural history. as a polymath who transcended disciplinary and geographical boundaries, he exemplified the spirit.

in october, 2023, the massacre in gaza continued with intensity. the zionist army, with financial and military support from the united states and the green light from the west, was constantly causing civilian casualties. the zinist's method was clear, they acted with full scale violence and easily denied accusations of mass killing.
